I have had a chance to listen to people who have been in long distance relationships and their views are as varied as the number of the relationships themselves. This for sure remains a thorn in the flesh for many relationships especially if not handled well.

The distance may be caused by one of the parties having to work far away, internet dating or because one of the partners has to go away for further studies. The distance may be between two close towns or across continents.

Whatever the reason or distance, to make the relationship work, the key is commitment. It would be wise for both parties to set guidelines on how they will keep communication lines open, how often they will visit and general expectations of each partner.

By calling often, sending e-mails, visiting each other and updating each other on what is happening on each partner’s end, the partners ensure closeness. It is also important to remember events that matter such as birthdays and wedding anniversary.

If the partners do not commit their time and effort to the long distance relationship, they will end up drawing apart and eventually feel like strangers to each other. This means that the next time they meet they may have nothing much to share and they may even have to start learning each other afresh.

Success stories are told of partners who have weathered the storm of distance in relationships and had their friendship strengthened. These relationships can be used as role models to others.

Achievement - Power And Ability Of A Positive Mind

“Attitude is everything!” This statement carries so much truth that if every one took time to think about it and make necessary adjustment in life, then our lives would change for the better. Many times in our quest for self improvement, we have concentrated on changing and improving many things but our attitude.

Attitude is a person’s frame of mind. It is the mindset that a person has that helps him to develop a world view. Attitude is expressed by how we respond to issues. One person once said, “Life is not what happens to you but how you respond to issues”. Two individuals may encounter a similar negative situation but how they will each respond will determine the outcome.

One of the main attitudes we need to embrace is cultivating a positive mindset or attitude. As you read through history you encounter ordinary individuals who did extra ordinary things. Moses in the Bible was known to stammer in his speech but he became the deliverer. Abraham Lincoln on the other hand educated himself; he had no formal education but became the most acclaimed president in the history of the United States.

Mother Teresa, a simple nun in Calcutta also became an icon through her acts of mercy and philanthropy. The list could go on and on. What characterized these people was a positive mindset, they all believed in possibilities and they responded decisively for the good of humanity.

Regardless of your present status and condition, you can accomplish anything with positive thinking. There is power that is released through positive thinking and once it is released, it will always work for you. Positive thinking acts to enhance your abilities and virtues. Nothing is impossible to him that believes.
